B.S. in Ceramic Engineering, 1940, Missouri School of Mines, Ph.D., 1950, Missouri. Classroom studies are supplemented by semi-commercial equipment. The Ceramic Engineering Department was established in 1926. Throughout its history it has been housed in the New Metallurgy Building. Although the Ceramics are in a minority as compared to the number of engineers in the other departments at Missouri School of Mines, our Ceramic Department is the fourth largest in the United States and has been singled out as outstanding refrac- tories technology. Ceramics affords a well-rounded study of the fundamental sciences and allied engineering subjects. 1 : it - ...in it 1 V 554 ' H f' 5 .. ff

ehemiotry epca rtment With the addition of Engineering Biochemistry and three NDEA doctoral Fellows, the graduate doctoral program has been extended in Chemical Engineering. Biochemistry courses are open as electives to students at senior level who are interested. Enrollment in Chemistry has increased rapidly for five years and is at an all-time high. Chemical Engineering requirements have been increased in Engineering Science, Mathematics, Elec- trical Engineering, and use of digital analog computers. Additional space has been provided by providing wall to wall steel grating at four levels above the ground level in the well of the Unit Operations Laboratory, increasing department space for research and instruction. A considerable portion of this space goes to Biochemistry. v-we ., DUDLEY THOM PSON, Department Chairman, Professor of Chemical Engineering, 1956.
